Special Funding Opportunities
We have developed Special Funding Opportunities for grants and projects the Foundation has identified as high impact. Some of these opportunities are ongoing initiatives, while others are designed to address specific needs within a designated timeframe.
Currently the Foundation is seeking applications in the following areas:
School-Based Health Care
School-based health care is an effective strategy for reaching underserved students. Recognizing the important role school-based health care programs play in the health and wellness of Colorado's children, the Foundation launched a $10.8 million initiative in June 2009 to support school-based health care in communities throughout Colorado.

Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS)
A balanced LTSS system will ensure people with disabilities and chronic conditions have choice, control and access to a full array of quality services that assure optimal outcomes, such as independence, health, quality of life and community integration. The Foundation is releasing a special funding opportunity to support Colorado in designing a high-quality, cost-effective and person-centered LTSS system. Learn more

Specifically, the Foundation seeks to fund two-year projects to build partnerships between safety net organizations and county departments of human/social services or other state-designated medical assistance sites to out-station enrollment technicians at clinic sites.
